After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Kings 136-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
